yea I taught him that rob It used to be a super clean plane Eddie was like some guys we know who if the plane got a ding in it he couldnt fly it anymore and just sell it. I think he went through 10 helis

I have that syndrome too. If it's not pretty, I don't want to fly it anymore. Funny, I love playing ugly, beat up guitars but I like my planes clean.

It's missing wood parts, I will buy the balsa if you want to fix it. that would be cool.

You bet, look at what broke, note size, etc of the stringers, then go to Randy's and buy some of the 3' pieces, then get some ply in various sizes(note the largest thickness in the plane, don't need any larger). A little epoxy and some GG. I think I have some thin CA.

The build is coming along on my 70. I'll finish up the engine mounting, throttle linkage and plumbing tonight and maybe fire up the DLE-30 for the first time. Servos get here Wednesday so I should be able to maiden it on Saturday.

You did get an "X" mount with yours didn't you?? You should have... if you did not receive one, co tact Ken at Motrofly, and I'm sure he will take care of you...

If so, just rotate the motor X mount 45 degrees on the firewall and re-drill. Make sure you keep it centered on the center marks. This is shown on page 14 of the manual. I don't remember if the blind-nuts were pre-installed, but if so, just screw a bolt part way in, and then tap the bolt to tap the blind-nuts out. and install into the new holes.
